Clemency Burton-Hill introduces the last programme of the week showcasing the talents of Radio 3's starry line-up of New Generation Artists. Now in its 16th year, the New Generation Artists scheme brings listeners the very best of emerging British and international talent. The NGAs are offered many opportunities to perform in chamber concerts and with the 大象传媒 orchestras; every day this week we hear the fruits of their work in the studio, in recordings made specially for Radio 3.

In this programme soprano Olena Tokar sings Mussorgky's song-cycle The Nursery, mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately performs songs by Barber, and pianists Zhang Zuo and Louis Schwizgebel combine for duets by Rachmaninov.
